The repair process should start with a new part installation and reetesting the system after the original part reinstallation. The vehicle contains two front impact sensors which are positioned at each side of the hood latch that sits on the radiator core support. Start by switching off power from the system and detach all three pin-type retainers and the radiator upper shield.

The installation procedure requires users to first tighten the bolts to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft) and then detach the electrical connector followed by removing the front impact severity sensor. The system installation process concludes with an opposite procedure to removal then powering up the system.
